Another Xin Mo Question (Mutliple Button Presses)
btw, if you are wanting to do I2C, I grabbed these off of ebay for like $1 each. They come from china, so it takes a couple weeks in shipping.

hmm.. I can't seem to find anything about if two joysticks ID's are the same. I'll keep looking around though.

you probably need to set the permissions. in command line, do this:chmod 755 /home/pi/pimame/emulators/pisnes/snes9x

Arcade joystick works in PiPlay but not in ROMs
yeah, no problem. I'd be interested to find if we can force one of the keyboards to be keyboard 0 or keyboard 1.

slightly lost in a keyboard of confusion
If you press 'TAB' in the main menu, it will bring up the popup menu, then you can select 'controller setup' in order to change your controller preferences for the emulators. From the command line, if you need to get back into p…

Well, for advMAME anyway, the config can differentiate between keyboards ( example -player_1_up [keyboard0, up] ). so you could go through your advmame.cfg file and and just duplicate all of your keyboard0 entries to include keyboard1 as well.

hmmm.... maybe try unplugging your physical keyboard, run the controller setup, then test a game.

having trouble getting the L-Ctrl, L-Alt and L-Shift buttons to work
Just FYI - When I get some spare time, my main priority is to overhaul the controller config.

having trouble getting the L-Ctrl, L-Alt and L-Shift buttons to work
it's been a while since I've fiddled with the controller setup, but it might be a limitation of pygame (the underlying library that PiPlay runs on). I know that pygame handles those particular keys as modifiers, so that might be the case. …

yeah, somewhere along the way, the piplay repo got reverted back to the old snes version that only supports 1 player. You can grab the fixed version from my repository at https://github.com/mholgatem/PiSNES/blob/master/build/pisnes.zip?raw=true Just…

Which emulator are you using? If you are using mame4all, it has to be configured in game as it doesn't have an accessible config file for piplay to write to.

Buttons not being detected with PiPlay. Help?
ok, first off. After you made your changes to retrogame.c, did you compile the code (i.e. - type make in the retrogame folder)? Assuming that you did that, when you type sudo ./retrogame and then press your button, it should give you a keyboard pres…

Display by release date not working.
just follow the above directions and that should fix it. somewhere in the database there must be some un-parsable date entry. I have added a fix that will bypass it in the next update.

I actually have no idea when that next update will be out. Development has slowed in the last couple of months as we have been taking on several different projects. But I think that we are about ready to start it chugging along again.

PiPlay still active?
I'm getting ready to revamp the controller config so that you can configure controls on a per-button-basis, rather than needing to run through an entire emulators set of controls.
